Den grafiska linjen: En analysmetod för produktion av elektronisk dansmusik

Abstract [sv]

Detta är ett konstnärligt examensarbete där jag utforskar den grafiska linjen, en kvalitativ analysmetod som kartlägger musikens struktur, instrumentering, arrangemang och ljuddesign i en DAW. Arbetet utförs genom en kombination av musikproduktion, analys och teoretisk undersökning. Med fokus på elektronisk dansmusik (EDM) och dess snabba utveckling inom populärkulturen, analyserar jag tre EDM-låtar med den grafiska linjen i Ableton Live och skapar tre nya låtar baserade på dessa analyser. Syftet är att främja musikalisk praxis genom att identifiera viktiga processer och händelser i musiken samt att skapa verktyg för musikproduktion. Den grafiska linjen är en metod som har sitt ursprung i mitt behov att upptäcka mönster i den musik jag arbetar med. Genom denna forskning har jag kunnat artikulera min arbetsprocess och mina insikter i användningen av musikaliska mallar. För att fördjupa förståelsen av den grafiska linjens tillämpning inom EDM har jag integrerat tidigare forskning om tonalitet, rytm och andra musikaliska aspekter inom genren. Denna forskning bidrar till studien av elektronisk dansmusik och ger perspektiv på användningen av den grafiska linjen som ett verktyg för musikalisk utforskning och skapande.

Abstract [en]

In this artistic thesis project, I explore the graphic line, a qualitative analysis method that maps the structure, instrumentation, arrangement, and sound design of music in a DAW through a combination of music production, analysis, and theoretical inquiry. By focusing on electronic dance music (EDM) and its rapid evolution within popular culture, I analyzed three EDM tracks using the graphic line in Ableton Live and created three new tracks based on these analyses. The aim is to promote musical practice by identifying key processes and events in music and creating tools for music production. The graphic line is a method that originates from my need to discover patterns in the music I work with. Through this research, I have been able to articulate my workflow and insights into the use of musical templates. To deepen understanding of the graphic line's application within EDM, I have integrated previous research on tonality, rhythm, and other musical aspects within the genre. This research contributes to the study of electronic dance music and provides perspectives on the use of the graphic line as a tool for musical exploration and creation.
